Champagne
Sugarcult Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All I can taste is champagne
When it hits the brain like
Spinning around and around
I can't get up without your help
I'm falling down

All I can taste is champagne
Another day down the drain
Sleeping around and around
I can't wake up without your help
It's over now

You want it
You need it
You can't explain
You fight it
You feed it
I can't live without you
I'm moving on without you

Love is like Novocaine
And it leaves a little stain
The beauty in all this pain is
I can't get away from you
So bowl me down and don't make a sound

You want it
You need it
You can't explain
You fight it
You feed it
I can't live without you
I'm moving on without you

All I can taste is champagne
Dancing away down my veins
Spinning around and around
I can't get up without your help
I'm on the ground

Somebody help me
I'm losing everything when I'm without you
Doing it without you

All I can taste is champagne




Another day down the drain
All I can taste is champagne x 2
